Not too bad. Now it looks like the cable is behind the bus and not obstructing. |

Nice B & W rendition. I think it has more impact this way. |

Joe, the spoonbill (pink in the middle) is about to land (still in the air) the white ibises are framing the spoonbill like a clock. It was a matter of "timing".... but, everything is subjective anyway !! |

Guy, your image indeed tells a story. The placement of the penguin figure in front of the work of art is very amusing. The man in the frame is working some pressure relief valves which probably is related to the prevalent local steel industry. Nicely composed, and very sharp. The colors are balanced. I tried to crop the left side of the image to remove the other framed color area, but it did not improve the image. In fact works as a balance to the position of the penguin. |

Ian, this is another of your collection of "master pieces". The white background favors this particular one giving great contrast with the costume, and congratulations for being one of the expositors in the Williamson Art Gallery. It is very sharp. Great composition. |

Erik, great HDR process and very intense rendition on the effects of time and exposure to the elements on the bus. It is interesting the way the bridge holds the bus in place and the ropes/wires frames the whole image. Beautiful environmental greens. I just wonder if in reality there is a stream of water under the bridge ?? Now, what kind of business uses this type of "decoration" ? |

Joe, I am not familiar with this museum. It must be new. The architectonic details (fish scales like) is very sharp. In spite of your vantage point and wide angle lens, I see very little perspective distortion. The HDR result in the sky gives a beautiful and non distracting backdrop. |

Bill, I love very much this composition and how the two arches tend to frame and capture the dry wood. The colors are vibrant and strong, the effect of the sky also adds to the image. I am not familiar with this Topaz filter, but the rendering effect makes the image into a "painting" and with very sharp details. |

David, with this PP you have been able to make a snapshot into a work of art. I am sure that we all would enjoy learning about the Pop Art portrait tutorial. Indeed, with the multicolor rendition, and the elimination of the shadows, it improved considerably the image, in spite of Tina's squinting. It is sharp and interestingly composed. |

Jerry, I agree with Joseph. The feet look chopped off |

Hassan, indeed you were at a very high vantage point looking down to the city on the right and to the black sea coastline. The tree in the middle kind of frames the whole seen with the branches. I agree with Deborah and added some light to the shadows to bring out more detail, and also made the shadow umbrellas edge straight removing the cut out one at the edge of the frame, at a price, loosing some of the city view. Nice colors, and sharpness. |

Jim, your grandson is looking away from the stonework next to him that to me is competing with him as primary subject in spite the lack of color. I cropped the image and only left 1/2 of the stonework and I think now there is a balance due to the fact that they are looking to different directions. The boy's outfit and hat are of bright colors. It is sharp. Also added a vignette. |

Gloria, this is a warm image showing interaction between the adult and the child. Both are looking at you and we have the added bonus of having you reflected in the adult sun glasses. The image is sharp, well cropped, the colors are balanced and not too much harsh light in spite of the time of the day (sun up). The background also is balanced with the colors of their shirts. Nice creation. |

Daniel, I agree with Dan about the statement of being a striking image. The overall monochrome character of the image is broken by the skin color and the very intense orange mirror which is the center of attention. You captured the character getting ready for his performance very likely as a frozen statue that moves only after you feed the collecting box. The character is very concentrated finishing her make-up. Great capture. |

Dan, indeed the presence of the chess board and the red chair invites to participate in the game. There is a lot of information in the image, and all of it is sharp and makes my eyes study all the elements, but again, I come back to the red chair which is the center of attention. |

Deborah, interesting image. The fact that the man with the red bike stood still watching the others pass by, and the fact that your shutter speed was only 1/3 sec rendered a blurred and implying movement background. Your PP brought back detail and color. I tried to correct the perspective distortion of the news stand on the right but it cut part of the head of the man. Also tried with the warp tool in photoshop, but was unhappy with the result. I did remove the yellow band on the right upper corner that is distracting. |

Mary, this is a magnificent landscape view o the Delicate Arch, augmented by the presence of snow in the background. It is well composed and sharp. Your PP brought out more color and contrast. Well worth the effort. Nothing to change. |

Abhijeet, great portrait of the Capped Langur. He is really posing for you. The background is not distracting, and the hair is nicely arranged. It is interesting how the left eye is totally open and seems to be looking towards you, and the right eye is squinting and he/she is giving you a slight smile. The crop is appropriate and your PP brought out good detail and color. |

Kent, this month both of us are presenting an example of extreme cropping and still obtain an interesting image. Indeed, your corporate meeting is a little "heated" and the CEO is ready to fly away... It is sharp, and the colors appropriate. Some judges would bring up the rule of odds, but here the fourth element is the observer. Interesting image. |
